Max’s The Big Bang Theory spinoff has added three cast members from the original series. The Big Bang Theory spinoff was previously announced in 2023, with co-creator and executive producer Chuck Lorre involved, but has received no further updates since. The franchise’s first spinoff, Young Sheldon, concluded earlier in 2024 after airing for seven seasons on CBS, the same network where The Big Bang Theory aired its 12 seasons. CBS is currently airing another franchise spinoff, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
As per Deadline, after signing their talent holding deals with Warner Bros. Television, Kevin Sussman, Brian Posehn, and Lauren Lapkus are attached to star in Max’s upcoming The Big Bang Theory spinoff series. They played the respective roles of Stuart Bloom, Bert Kibbler, and Denise in The Big Bang Theory. The highly anticipated spinoff is still in the early stages of development as it has not been officially greenlit yet and the script is still being written.
What This Means For The Big Bang Theory Spinoff
It Will Be Different From The Previous Spinoffs In A Major Way
The Big Bang Theory spinoff’s casting news confirms that the series is continuing to move forward, despite still having a ways to go, and that the stories of Stuart, Bert, and Denise will continue. The new series will reveal what happened to these characters after The Big Bang Theory’s ending, including how the romantic relationship between Stuart and Denise has progressed. Three of the original sitcom’s supporting characters will now be at the forefront of the new spinoff.
While Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage take place before The Big Bang Theory, the Max spinoff will be the first full-fledged story to take place after the events of the original show. Young Sheldon’s ending did show some of Sheldon and Amy’s lives after The Big Bang Theory’s conclusion, but this was only a small part of the prequel. The Max spinoff is poised to be a direct The Big Bang Theory sequel, even if it only primarily focuses on Stuart, Bert, and Denise.
